'Well briefed' Obama tells Ed Henry 'I just heard about' Gruber [video]

In Brisbane Australia, President Obama clumsily told Fox News’ Ed Henry that he ‘just heard about’ the controversy over Jonathan Gruber whom he described as ‘some adviser who never worked on our staff.’ He then went on to say that there was ‘not a provision of the healthcare law that was not extensively debated and it was fully transparent.’

As if that weren’t sufficiently ludicrous, the President went on to give a sales pitch for Obamacare enrollment and how successful the program is.

Better than Comedy Central. If Gruber didn't work on the law, what was the 400K for? Obama is #Grubering http://t.co/xlB8nrAok5

@JammieWF Apparently, he doesn't talk with his press secretary, who answered questions about #Gruber earlier this week. Absolutely a lie.

Now Obama pretends #Gruber had nothing to do with #Obamacare. #Dem voters will find out–2015. #Lies or criminal? @SenTedCruz @SenMIkeLee

Sergeant Schultz has more credibility than Obama and Pelosi. "I know nothing. Nothing…" @FoxNewsSunday #FNS #Gruber
